Agriculture is an important source of income and well-being across Latin America and the Caribbean. In recent years, FAO has been helping family farmers in communities in Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador to build on their existing seed systems and to develop ways to boost the productivity of traditional farming methods. This work is also seen as key to strengthening regional resources. It plays a pivotal role in national food security and nutrition. Click on our video for more details.

Peruvian authorities are cracking down on illegal pig farms, which they say are becoming dangerous to human health.
The farms - most of which are located around rubbish dumps - provide a large percentage of the meat sold in markets.
Illegal pig farms like this one in Puerto del Callao are commonplace in Peru.
Officials say hundreds of pigs are raised here in unhealthy conditions and then slaughtered.
They are then taken to the market where each day their meat is sold to thousands of consumers.
Most pig farms are located in small shanty-towns surrounded by large rubbish dumps.
This one in Puerto del Callao, 20 kilometres west of Lima, is hidden in the mountains.
But health officials manage to find it anyway.
They say the farms are becoming hazardous to human health.
SOUNDBITE: (Spanish)
"These illegal farms, no matter how good they are, they always escape veterinary controls. In here they kill the pigs --we've seen it ourselves when we have arrived unannounced, on the rubbish. They place a kind of matt on the rubbish and slaughter the pigs there, without sanitary controls. Those animals didn't have any vaccination and were fed on rubbish."
SUPERCAPTION: Alberto Casas, Callao Veterinarian
Authorities are now trying to crack down on illegal pig farms.
This is the seventh operation by the municipal police this year in the Puerto del Callao area.
They have already confiscated 400 pigs in this operation alone and two thousand since the beginning of the year.
The pigs are slaughtered and burned after they're examined.
Health officials say more than 15 percent of the confiscated animals are not fit for human consumption.
But for many of the country's poor, the illegal pig farms are the only means of supporting their families.
SOUNDBITE: (Spanish)
"I don't have anything, I don't have any money, look how I live, only with my pigs.
Q: What do you feed them?
A: I only give them "afrecho" (minced corn)
SUPERCAPTION: Pig Farm Owner
The municipal police have been paying visits to scores of shanty-towns where they are warning residents about the risk of eating contaminated meat and the implications of raising the animals illegally.
They say their efforts are paying off as the number of illegal pig farms has decreased sharply.
SOUNDBITE: (Spanish)
"Here in El Callao, in January, there were 10-thousand pigs registered in 450 illegal farms. Now the figures have gone down by 60 percent. There are four thousand pigs registered in two hundred illegal pig farms."
SUPERCAPTION: David Gonzalez, Head of Social Services, Callao Municipality
Authorities have banned rubbish trucks from some areas to force residents to move out or raise their pigs legally.
But it's unlikely they will eradicate the practice completely.
Most people in the pig trade have migrated from other areas and have nothing but their animals.
For them pig farming is the only means of survival and rubbish the only thing they can afford to feed their pigs with.

Peru's AncientStone Canals
Peru's capital Lima is the second-largest desert city in the world. Although the region enjoys a surplus of water during the rainy season, keeping it is a problem. The excess often ends up back in the ocean, leaving Lima's nine million residents without a regular water supply during the dry winter months.
But a network of stone canals dating back to the seventh century could be a solution to the city's water crisis.
Situated in the highlands of the PeruvianAndes, these canals were an effective method of storing water during the rainy season. As the bottom of the canals are porous, the water filters directly into the ground and runs into springs and natural reservoirs further down the mountain, maintaining river flow during the dry season.
Having fallen into disrepair, they are now being restored with the support of local NGOs.
Juliana Schatz travels to Peru to speak to those living with severe water shortages and visits the Andean community of Huamantanga to see how restoring the ancient canals could help supply running water for millions of people living today.
Japan's FutureFarms
By 2050, the world will need to feed an additional 2.5 billion people living in cities. Yet as the demand for food rises, the amount of land available for agriculture in developed countries is expected to decline.
In Japan, at the Fujitsu factory of Aizu-Wakamatsu which still manufactures semiconductor chips for computers, a different project is underway which may offer a solution to this problem.
The company has converted an unused part of the factory into a farm to grow food - and more specifically, to grow lettuce. Fujitsu has focused on growing a low-potassium variety, which is sold to people with kidney problems who cannot process the mineral properly.
JoinRachel Mealey in Japan's Fukushima Prefecture to visit the sun-free and soil-free urban farms of the future.
Cryocoral ConservationCoral reefs are the most biologically diverse marine habitats in the world. As well as providing vital protection against storm damage and coastal erosion, millions of people rely on reefs for food.
Yet years of unsustainable fishing practices, pollution and rising sea temperatures means that up to one-fifth of all coral reefs around the world have already been destroyed. So the battle is on to safeguard their future.
Dr Mary Hagedorn of the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute has been on a global mission to create a seed bank to protect the world's highly-threatened coral biodiversity. Using technology and techniques similar to those used in human sperm banks, Hagedorn and her colleagues were the first on the planet to cryogenically freeze the sperm and stem cells of coral.
Russell Beard travels to Oahu, Hawaii, to join Dr Hagedorn's team on a spawn gathering trip to gather and freeze endangered coral sperm and cells for future use.

The United Nations announced in 2013 that Peru has overtaken Colombia as the world’s top producer of coca, the raw plant material used to manufacture cocaine. For the past two decades, Colombia has been virtually synonymous with cocaine. Now that Peru has become the global epicenter of cocaine production, the Andean nation runs the risk of becoming the world’s next great narco state.
The Peruvian government is trying to crack down on the problem by ramping up eradication of coca plants, and devoting military and police resources to interdiction efforts. Despite the response — and a hefty amount of foreign aid devoted to combatting cocaine production — Peruvian coke is being consumed in the nightclubs of Lima and in cities around the world like never before.
VICE News travels to Peru to learn more about the government’s battle plan against cocaine, and to see how nearly every aspect of Peruvian society is caught up in the fight. We witness how the fine, white powder has forced an entire nation to the brink in the global war on drugs.

Followingpeace talks in Oslo, the Colombian president has said he is optimistic that a peace deal can be achieved with FARC rebels, ending almost 50 years of conflict. However, Juan Manuel Santos said he was aware of potential threats to an agreement, which include drug and criminal gangs. In the event of a peace deal, many Colombians fear thousands of demobilised FARC rebels will find it difficult to find jobs and could turn to cocaine trafficking.

Peru

Peru (i/pəˈruː/; Spanish:Perú[peˈɾu]; Quechua:Piruw[pɪɾʊw];Aymara:Piruw[pɪɾʊw]), officially the Republic of Peru (Spanish: República del Perú), is a country in western South America. It is bordered in the north by Ecuador and Colombia, in the east by Brazil, in the southeast by Bolivia, in the south by Chile, and in the west by the Pacific Ocean. Peru is an extremely biodiverse country with habitats ranging from the arid plains of the Pacific coastal region in the west to the peaks of the Andes mountains vertically extending from the north to the southeast of the country to the tropical Amazon Basin rainforest in the east with the Amazon river.

Peruvian territory was home to ancient cultures spanning from the Norte Chico civilization in Caral, one of the oldest in the world, to the Inca Empire, the largest state in Pre-Columbian America. The Spanish Empire conquered the region in the 16th century and established a Viceroyalty with its capital in Lima, which included most of its South American colonies. Ideas of political autonomy later spread throughout Spanish America and Peru gained its independence, which was formally proclaimed in 1821. After the battle of Ayacucho, three years after proclamation, Peru ensured its independence. After achieving independence, the country remained in recession and kept a low military profile until an economic rise based on the extraction of raw and maritime materials struck the country, which ended shortly before the war of the Pacific. Subsequently, the country has undergone changes in government from oligarchic to democratic systems. Peru has gone through periods of political unrest and internal conflict as well as periods of stability and economic upswing.
